Poor low IQ Ziggy
Its a warning that America is now under the control of a neo-marxist revolution.....the last remnants of Old America are about to be swept away.Except that this lady (how’s this for an appeal to authority) is a liberal, went to Princeton, previously was an economics reporter for The NY Times and is a guest correspondent on CNN and PBS Newshour.)
So the column isn’t from some free market zealot which gives us an idea how bad the proposal is.
The new right is hardly pro free markets (see Vance, JD). This populist movement on the left and right is frightening.Its a warning that America is now under the control of a neo-marxist revolution.....the last remnants of Old America are about to be swept away.
Stephen Hicks (Rockford University) talks a lot about how almost none of the WOKE have bothered to read the foundational books....they learned the slogans that they were told to repeat, and they have learned how to be activists, but they know nothing of the aims of the Revolution....they are the definition of useful idiots.The new right is hardly pro free markets (see Vance, JD). This populist movement on the left and right is frightening.
Harris has not even said much about her policies on Price Gouging yet. Any opinions coming from anyone now, are coming from jumping to conclusions at this point.Except that this lady (how’s this for an appeal to authority) is a liberal, went to Princeton, previously was an economics reporter for The NY Times and is a guest correspondent on CNN and PBS Newshour.)

Kroger currently makes 1% profit on their sales. ONE PERCENT! How much less do you expect them to make? Cargill, a Brazilian owned meat company, and one of the largest suppliers in the US, has started pulling out of the market because they don't want to put up the Leftist bullshit they know all to well in Brazil here too. They don't have to.Harris has not even said much about her policies on Price Gouging yet. Any opinions coming from anyone now, are coming from jumping to conclusions at this point.
She did line out some bullets, said some things she would like to do, but did not say exactly how she was going to do ANYTHING yet.
Such as she said she intends to use Anti-trust laws to prevent mergers in the Grocery Chain Market! With Kroger attempting to buy Safeway- which happen to be the 2 largest Grocery chains in America already, I don't see how that helps bring prices down- DO YOU?
So, NO! THAT WOULD BE A MONOPOLY, AND I approve anything Harris would do to prevent that!
And when it comes to MONOPOLIES, the MEAT PROCESSING INDUSTRY ARE ALREADY A MONOPOLY- and they seem to be the main Instigators of PRICE GOUGING. Take the Beef market for example- 4 companies own 85% of the entire US market share.
So, there are more than one way to skin a COW! And I believe KAMALA will figure out what needs to be done and what should be done to help bring prices down. GIVE HER A FUCKING CHANCE NAYSAYERS. Trust me, there are people out there running their mouths for politcal posturing- I MEAN! There is an election going on AND ALL!
And as for opinions- EVERYONE with an asshole has one!
So I wouldn't get all giddy about one person's negative opinions that may be speaking out in front of HARRIS on this subject in the first place!
I'm not interested in your Tired and Unproven Republican philosophies and mantras!Kroger currently makes 1% profit on their sales. ONE PERCENT! How much less do you expect them to make?

They don't have to.
Harris' ideas are those of failed Socialist hacks from the 1950's on. She's a 'tard and an economic illiterate.
Okay, so what? They sell billions of individual items at a 1% profit margin making hundreds of millions. That's just the law of large numbers at work. Are you saying they shouldn't make a 1% profit margin.I'm not interested in your Tired and Unproven Republican philosophies and mantras!
Profit margins in the Grocery market is thin, but that doesn't tell the whole story!
Trust me, they make up for that thin profit margin with the volume of their sales.
It's like McDonalds! They don't make much profit on a hamburger- BUT THEY SELL ( and to quote Trump) Billions, and Billions, and Billions of them!
You are way out in the bushes T.A.Okay, so what? They sell billions of individual items at a 1% profit margin making hundreds of millions. That's just the law of large numbers at work. Are you saying they shouldn't make a 1% profit margin.

You holier-than-thou clowns have been dogging liberals about the economy, and everything else in the world, since Jesus walked on the water.
Well let me tell your DUMB ass, that if all the liberals in the world up and died tomorrow, the economy would still have it's good times and it's bad times- the prisons would still be full- There would still be SHITHOLE cities and countries- There would still be poverty- There would still be crime- HATERS WOULD STILL HATE- THERE WOULD STILL BE GAY PEOPLE- THERE WOULD STILL BE ABORTIONS- DONALD TRUMP WOULD STILL BE UP THERE AT HIS STUMP INSULTING PEOPLE- AND YOUR SHIT AND BREATH WOULD STILL STINK!
The only difference would be you wouldn't have the Liberals to blame everything ON!
